To review the etiology and incidence of and associative factors in the formation of adhesions following gynaecological surgery. To review evidence for the use of available means of adhesion prevention following gynaecological surgery.|Women undergoing pelvic surgery are at risk of developing abdominal and/or pelvic adhesive disease postoperatively. Surgical technique and commercial adhesion prevention systems may decrease the risk of postoperative adhesion formation.|The outcomes measured are the incidence of postoperative adhesions, complications related to the formation of adhesions, and further intervention relative to adhesive disease.|Medline, EMBASE, and The Cochrane Library were searched for articles published in English from 1990 to March 2009, using appropriate controlled vocabulary and key words. Results were restricted to systematic reviews, randomized control trials/controlled clinical trials, cohort studies, and meta-analyses specifically addressing postoperative adhesions

Pelvic adhesion can form as a result of inflammation, endometriosis or surgical trauma. During pelvic surgery, strategies to reduce pelvic adhesion formation may include placing synthetic barrier agents such as oxidised regenerated cellulose, polytetrafluoroethylene or Fibrin sheets between the pelvic structures.|To assess the effect of physical barriers used during pelvic surgery in women of reproductive age on pregnancy rates, pelvic pain, or postoperative adhesion reformation.|We searched the Cochrane Menstrual Disorders and Subfertility Group Trials Register (searched September 2007) which is based on regular searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO and CENTRAL, plus handsearching of 20 relevant journals and conference proceedings, and searches of several key grey literature sources.

The use of hyaluronic acid agents was associated with a decrease in the prevalence of adhesions at second-look laparoscopy (odds ratio, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.19 to 0.51) and a lesser chance of deterioration of preexisting adhesions (odds ratio, 0.28; 95% confidence interval, 0.12 to 0.66).

First, Plan B was only available OTC to women age 17 and up. In April, a judge ordered that it be made available to women of all ages. Now, an appeals court judge has stayed an order that would make a one-dose version of the emergency contraception available to all ages, while allowing the two-dose drug to be sold OTC without restriction. What do you make of all this?

Pregnant woman and the newborn infant in breast feeding both of them need safety. So, caution in use of drugs in pregnancy and during lactation is mandatory. The knowledge of risk-benefit ratio of different drugs should be in mind of the doctor while prescribing a pregnant or lactating lady.Definitions of Pregnancy categories of drugs and a table showing pregnancy categories of drugs and safety of drugs in lactation are given here.
Definitions of Pregnancy categories of drugs:
On the basis of the potentiality for producing birth defects drugs in pregnancy are grouped into 1 of 5 categories which are A,B, C, D and X. Drugs of class A and B are considered safe and can be used routinely.
Pregnancy Category A : Controlled studies in pregnant women fail to detect risk to the fetus in the first trimester and no evidence of risk in later trimesters. The possibility of harm to the fetus appears remote by using the drugs of pregnancy category A.
Pregnancy Category B : Presumed safety on the basis of animal studies, with no controlled study in pregnant women, or animal studies have shown an adverse effect which was not confirmed in controlled studies in women in the first trimester and there is no evidence of risk to the fetus in later trimesters.
Pregnancy Category C : Studies in women and animals are not available or studies in animals have shown adverse effects on the fetus and there is no controlled study in women. Drugs should be given in pregnancy only if the potential benefits justify the potential risk to the fetus.
Pregnancy Category D : There is positive evidence of risk to the human fetus (unsafe), however in a life-threatening illness the potential risk may be justified if there are no other alternatives.
Pregnancy Category X : Highly unsafe: risk of use outweighs any potential benefit. Drugs in this category are contraindicated in pregnant women or in a woman who may become pregnant. To get more please visit - http://medicalforall.net/drugs-pregnancy-lactation/
Recently, I had the occasion to review a case of a term primigravida with PROM in a private hospital (no housestaff or in house obstetricians). She was seen by an obstetrician soon after arrival, evaluated, and pitocin induction begun.
She did not deliver for around 29 hours after admission, and the delivering obstetrician (a different physician) was physically present during the last 2 hours of labor prior to delivery.
Simply put, while the two involved obstetricians were in communication by phone with the nursing staff throughout labor (separately as their "shifts" did not overlap), no one actually came to the bedside and wrote a note) from admission until around 2 hours before delivery.
Medical staff bylaws call for a daily progress note; this bylaw was easily met.
In reviewing the case, it did not "feel good" that no one came to the bedside.
My questions:
1. Does anyone have or know of any guidelines to mandate such bedside attendance? Of course, we all hope that the involved physicians would not need said guidelines. 2. Does anyone have a suggestion of hospital/nursing protocols? Simply, in this case I would like to have had a charge nurse or bedside nurse simply say, "Hey, no one has been by for a while. What's up?"
There are a variety of complications that can occur during laparoscopic surgery. In this tutorial learn some of the complications and tips to avoid them.
